A game so weighty, substantial and electrifying that it generates its own magnetic field.

Great game. Much better than the first (No need for a walkthrough, apart from maybe the last level). Lots of the levels are great, bar a trailing mission and possibly the last one (Interesting mission but far too long and too much backtracking). Story is as good as the first if not better, praise be to Karass being a great villain.

The greatest stealth game, a master class lesson in level design (up until Casing the Joint) and enjoyment. They don't make games like this anymore.

Much more streamlined (in a good way--those '90s level designers were crazy man) than the first, while keeping all the stuff that made the first so special. Great worldbuilding, cool gameplay, cool story. Audio is still rarely matched even among AAA games. The story does feel very slightly disjointed, as it was in fact put together after the fact as a way to string together a bunch of cool levels the developers had made. All in all, not a bad way to do things, and a few elements (the antagonist, Karras) stick out as being great nonetheless. Plus, I say this without the rose tinted glasses, seeing as this game was released before I was born.

Was going smoothly until the last level, where the Stage 1 piece cannot be converted into Stage 2. A shame, given it was one of the more interesting levels in the whole game. If you're planning on playing this, INSTALL T2FIX . Seriously. Other than the bugs, this game has huge levels, a greater focus on the city, and overall felt even more ambitious than the preceding entry. The NPC dialogues are in a league of their own as always, while the mechanist children add a whole new level of challenge and eerieness. Absolutely loved the exploration and slowly uncovering Karras' plot. Some of these levels are among my favorite in the series, although, of course, both games could use a lot more signposting throughout. Overall, another cult classic that inspired gems like Dishonored and Bioshock; Although not without its faults, Thief II provides, ambition, frustration, and entertainment all in one stealth-filled package from 24 years ago.
